@dessalines @jsit @alectrocute Do you think the user should even be redirected away from the communities page for this?

1. Voyager already adds &type=Communities when I search from the communities page. Would like others to confirm.

2. Do you think the user should even be redirected away from the communities page for this?

   I don't think the Communities page is really equipped to display search results, so this redirect makes sense to me for now

Gotcha. TBF, the current search feels a bit too kitchen-sinky. I would expect the Communities page to have to deal with searches at some point, especially since I'm pretty sure sorting by different columns is in the pipeline.
